If you've ever seen the prixe of AX buttstock you can kind of figure some things out.

 

[M4guru]

Less than $2,000, more than $1999.98 LOL

 

[trophyhunter]

$6 less

give or take $1994

 

[BuLLet]

AXSR chassi is 2k, so I'd hope a lot less then 2k.

Am I one of the few who really likes the AT as-is? I see where they are taking the new design, and it’s fantastic, but not something I’m interested in.

Glad I picked up an AT last year from MHSA!

Since the AT and AX SA are going away, my guess is we'll see some pretty good deals on those items now that the AT-X is here and replacing them. I am partially with you, I like the AT-X design, but there is something nostalgic about the AT, in fact, I even put the thumbhole on mine as I like the look

 

[Dthomas3523]

@lowlight or @R.Walters

On video I heard that some parts/materials had been updated in the comp trigger.

Are these updates in the current comp triggers for sale, or just the comp trigger coming with the AT-X?

I had several fail (two were adjusted by Tom at xtsp on his jig and still didn’t function properly in three rifles).

I would like to have one in single stage configuration around 12oz or so. Just curious before I buy a fourth trigger to try.

I like the look of this AT-X but like you am partial to the AW look.
Here's hoping the AT will be on sale once the AT-X drops.

Just saw the new AI rifle. Just curious if it takes glock mags and if they guarantee the accuracy of 1/2 moa at 4,000 yards. If not gonna be a total deal breaker.

 

[GrumpyOleFart]

AI, Awesome.

It takes AICS which is better than Glock magazines.

Edit: I don't actually know AI mags and what goes in which. Said quickly in response to previous joking.

 

[M8541Reaper]

From the podcast: AT LE is not going anywhere. LE models are on long-availabilty for institutional (LE) customers. AI and Frank just talked about it in the audio near the end. For consumer grade customers, now AT-X is the $5K base platform and you can throw another $1-2k in accessories at it if you want a gucci $7k rifle. You would do that with NV bridges, handguards, rails, top-rails, weight systems, and ASR back end etc.

Let’s see them open that AXMC-LE to AD Mil and not just LE. If Frank & Mike (in a previous EDS episode) are going to compare it to Glock’s Blue Label program, let’s make it a fair comparison and share the love.

Edit:
Maybe even just do the special pricing for LE and toss in an extra mag and a sling (or Mag pouch), similar to the Blue Label programs out there with the holster/mag. But open the purchase to civilians at the usual price. A BL Glock 19 is the same as the Glock 19 a civi buys. ::End Jealousy::

 

[Glassaholic]

Wait, it takes AICS, I thought it only took AW mags like the current AT. One of the bummers about my AT is that I cannot use all the awesome aftermarket AICS mags out there...

 

[Adam B]

you can use AICS mags in an AT, you just need to adjust the mag catch height on the mag

The AT and AX are not discontinued. We still make them in the UK and will continue to do so as long as the market continues to demand them.
The AT-X is a civilian competition rifle and products we supply for other markets are still available.

is there going to be a version of the new chassis for the AXSR action?

 

[Surly]

@tomirwin
I am also interested in this...

 

[MarinePMI]

I thought the AXSR was the same action as the AT (pretty sure it is). If so, then the AT-X chassis would fit your existing action (you'd have to debond it from the OEM chassis), and could be simply bolted into it if desired.

The AXSR is the long action. You might be thinking about the AXSA which is the short action.

 

[BuLLet]

The AT is the Same Action that is in the AT-X, it's just in a different chassi. AXSR chassi is the just released new chassi.

AT-X is just same old action in another new chassi.

Not bonded.

I'd like to know more about this, PM coming

 

[tomirwin]

There is not going to be a new version of the new (AT-X) chassis for the AXSR and the AXSR action is different to the AT action. The AXSR action can take magnum calibers and the AT action cannot. The AT action is used on the AT and AX308 rifles.

 

[PTPATAW]

Yep the AXSR is mostly similar to the AXMC but with a different footprint and a few other odds and ends.

edit: alrighty. I guess there’s no real need for a new chassis. I was just curious

Someone had mentioned that the Live Feed video it was mentioned that the AT-X was replacing the AT and AX308, good to know these will continue to be available. Thank you for the clarification Tom.

 

[Lowlight]

It does contradict what Scott said in both cases, technically, I even asked again in the podcast yesterday.

But at the same time he clarified that these will remain in place because of their ties to LE, and the fact the LE community does not want to see big changes like a discontinued product.

I understood it to be a sales thing how they will be sold vs how they will be supported.

The support was not ending but the way they are sold was being changed.

I agree as well. Was also curious...

The more I look at the new AXSR / AT-X, the more I like Cooper’s original AW design.

No long action version of AT-X....

Thanks for clarifying. Got jacked up after hearing possibility on live stream.

Great job by the way, to you and all involved on this project. Can't wait to try out. Yyuge fan .

 

[Lowlight]

They can scale up for a LA Version

It's possible

 

[tomirwin]

For those interested in an AT-X AICS for the Remington 700, I can tell you that we plan to have prototypes in March, take orders at the beginning of April and deliver in Q3. That will most likely be the August/September timeframe.
AT-X rifles will deliver in Q2, most likely in May/June timeframe. April is a little optimistic but the first few production might make it.

Hi Frank,
Everything is possible but there is only so much that we can do and at this time a long action version is not one of them.
Tom Irwin

[Lowlight]

I get that Tom

I don't think one is needed right now either

But there is a path should you want to travel it in the future, priorities

If you need someone to test drive a R700 version of the AT-X, I will volunteer my Vudoo V-22 to the cause looking forward to this chassis!

Hopefully that gives you more time to focus on a left hand model.

I know this just got released but they did make mention on ease of switching manufacturing to LH models.

Any projections for lefties?

Thanks!

I would like to also know that. I bought one of the original comp triggers and don't use it since I want the same trigger on both of my AI rifles. Was planning to buy another comp trigger but would like to know if there have been changes.

@Dthomas3523, did you ever try to ask MHS. I have been meaning to but figured that you would have better luck than me in getting some straight information

 

[Lowlight]

It's mainly a coating change, and the new ones ship with the heavier spring installed.

Part of the problem was the lighter spring and guys screwing the adjustments up, so with the heavier spring shipped in the trigger it's less likely to create an issue. The light spring is included but not installed, I would only recommend that for those with enough experience.

They did some other minor stuff too but mainly invisible changes, material stuff.

People don't realize you just turn a screw and call it good.

Pretty sure I saw @R.Walters post in the live Chat Box that LH versions are planned for the future.
Also very curious about a LH AT-X and timing, probably best to just contact MileHigh and get on a list...

You’re in Maine, probably quicker to go through Jason @jb1000br at euro optics

The big shocker will be when they announce their lightweight 6.5 Creedmoor hunting rifle to compete with the Sig Cross. Think an AW that weighs 7lbs. Obviously you’ll need to sell a kidney, but who needs those after you’ve already sold your testicles to buy Sitka gear.

 

[Nik H]

@jb1000br sending pm

Let us other LH people know as well. I think we can expect a LH version in about 5 -8 years

 

[Kiba]

Less chat about the AT-X, more chat about the 223 and magnum conversions!

Are the 223 magazines going to be single stack or double stack? Is AI going to get back into the 223 magazine game for the conversion?

And last but not least, is there an estimated availability date for the 223 conversion?

I did hear the magnum conversion is further along and is coming first, but I'm more interested in the 223 conversion.

 

[StrayDog]

@Nik H I already waited years talking myself out of an AIAW and AT in LH because of the stocks, but this AT-X is pretty close to my ideal setup...

Then only to realize the sitka gear is shit compared to Kuiu.

Which is why I had the designer tune two of them. He told me they would work. He replaced springs and did it on the jig.

when they shipped back and still didn’t work on 3 different rifles, he stopped returning my emails. So I sold them with disclaimer to buyers.

I wish it had just been me turning a screw.

More ATX PORN !

 

[gamewarden]

What height Spuhr for the new AT-X...still 1.5"?

 

[jonraccrr]

What height Spuhr for the new AT-X...still 1.5"?

That gun was setup with a tall 20moa pic rail like a gun would be setup to run night vision with the forward rail on the bridge. You can also use a lower pic rail and lower mount
